During eleven days in August, the international Interaktionslabor in Göttelborn meets to celebrate its tenth year of existence in the former Coal Mine Götterborn, now a thriving campus of new industry and innovation. This year’s lab will continue the recently founded platform, “Performance Academy,” of workshops for performance-media design, interactional and wearable concepts, and investigations of gestural processes, protocols, and social choreography. Interaktionslabor promotes a concept of research opened up to acknowledge the relevance of experimental treatments of actuality – of forms of collaborative creation – that may take us beyond the perspectives and protocols of established inquiry as we know it, artistically and academically. Since 2011, we have chosen gesture and non-verbal communication as focus of the interactive workshop – gesture as practice that is at once aesthetic, corporeal, and political. The lab will offer a series of parallel investigations into the relations between choreography and software, sound and motion-design, movement capture and 3d digital/virtual environment navigation, light and projection architecture, dirty electronics and interactive programming.

A final exhibition will be held on Saturday, August 10, at 8:30 pm in the evening, entry is free. On Thursday, August 8, we invite the public to a VOICE ANIMATION workshop with curator/creative consultant Alessandra Ravanelli (Vienna) - this workshop is open to the public. We look forward to your visit.
